The famous St. Jean Beach on the beautiful island of St. Barth's is probably one of the most beautiful of its kind. Such clear waters are practically rare nowadays, but here, the beautiful seaside is so clean, it's almost as if humans never touched it. It's so fun to splash around here and let soak up all the fresh air and sunshine. Make no mistake, however, because swimming at the beach isn't the only thing you can do here. There are loads more to do that are also worth your time!

 

See a Gallery

Not many of you might know this but St. Barth's actually has a lot of art galleries on offer. There aren’t as many as those in Paris, but there are enough indeed. In recent years, the vacation hotspot has become quite the haven for artists to showcase their work. Why? Because of all the mega-rich people who go here and congregate during summer! What better time and place for artists to sell their work than to those who can afford it at a time when they're completely relaxed and in a place that's peaceful and serene? Though if you're lucky enough to be on the island during an art exhibition, go check it out! 

Ride a Yacht

Part of what makes St. Barth's, and St. Jean Beach, in particular, a great destination for vacationers some of its more luxurious offers. Here, you can actually rent a yacht and feel like a million bucks. Explore more of the crystal blue waters and spend some alone time in the middle of the ocean. This is, after all, what the rich and famous go here for. They retreat here to escape their fans and followers and enjoy the finer things in life, which here means lunging around in a yacht in the middle of one of the most beautiful seas in the world. 

 

Get A Tan

While you're on the yacht, get a tan as well. Soak up all of that Caribbean sunshine and make all your friends jealous when you get back home! It's easy to say that you'll get tan while swimming anyway, but at least. when you're simply lounging on a boat or lying still on the soft white sands of St. Jean Beach, you're actually relaxing. You're doing absolutely nothing but letting the sun paint you a different skin tone. It's a luxuriously amazing experience to just be at peace, not worrying about what's back home and such. You're just there, getting a nice tan! 

Go Shell-Hunting

Here's something a little bit unique in St. Barth's: go shell-hunting! Yes, you can hunt for shells just about anywhere you want, but the ones here are quite beautiful! Their unique forms and tantalizing colors make them quite the items to find. And when you've got enough, you can make all sorts of beautiful artworks with them. Making shell art has become quite the thing here in St. Barths. There's even a museum here that displays shell art. You can pop on over here to get some inspiration for your own work! 

 

 

Go Sailing

Want to go back to the seas? Go sailing! As opposed to renting a yacht which is more peaceful, sailing is a lot more adventurous. Let the wind blow through your hair as you sail across the beautiful Caribbean seas. If you're lucky, you might even get to see the most colorful of fishes that live there. But even if you don't, you'll still have quite a magnificent view. There's nothing quite like it. Seeing stretches of beautiful blue water as if you're in a beautiful abyss will leave you breathless! 

 

Get a Massage

This is St. Barths. If you can't get a good massage here, where can you get them? There are loads of five-star spas here that will help you take the load off and relax even better. Sure, you can still relax while swimming in the sea. But there's just something about letting another person ease your tensions away. And the people here are so good at it! The spas here are quite extraordinary, providing first-class service to anyone who wants them. It's as if you escaped the real world and entered into a luxurious escape where the people will help you rewind and relax. 

 

 

Watch The Sunset

Finally, a better way to spend your time on St. Jean Beach is to watch the sunset. The beach here is the best for sunset, better than in Florida, Paris, Bangkok, and more. Whether you're on the white sandy shore, on a luxurious yacht, or if you're still sailing, watching the sunset here is truly something else. For one thing, you'll get a clear view of the natural wonder from this side of the island. There are little to no bright city lights that will trump your view of the sunset. Secondly, as the sunset, you'll get drenched in the finely fresh pink and orange air, as if Mother Nature painted you that way. You're not going to see a sunset like this anywhere else! 

 

Here in St. Barths, St. Jean Beach is one of the more popular tourist destinations. But contrary to popular belief, some of the best things to do here is not just to swim at the beach. It's to experience the island and the many pleasures it offers!
